Another easily grown, if slightly less vigorous variety of mint. As with all mints they prefer a sunny site and are best contained. Use them for adding to iced summer drinks and milk shakes. A garnish to puddings and desserts. Add finely chopped leaves to salads for a lovely zesty flavour. The blossoms and the finely sliced leaves make an unusual addition to fresh fruit salads. Make a bottle of sparkling wine special!
